POSITIVES
Standpoint wished
That used to be handiest United’s fourth defeat in 30 Premier League video games.
We are fourth within the table and aloof searching out a European draw.
The season has been one among huge overachievement, and given the mess the modern owners inherited, it’s a minor miracle we’re so excessive up the league.
We’ve misplaced to a Villa facet bang in originate, with a supervisor, Unai Emery, in his comprise honeymoon interval.
You also appropriate comprise to wait for your hands up, we’ve been overwhelmed by the upper facet on the day.
Dwelling comforts
That used to be our third away game in a row. A outlandish sequence to be on the boulevard for that many video games.
We also know that Eddie Howe strives for excellence and the work will already be underway to uncover wait on on blueprint as quickly as possible.
The dwelling game against Spurs is an gargantuan different to uncover this one out of the machine.
Tottenham’s defence is there to be purchased at, and they witness an sad ship for the time being, after the fans grew to turn into on the players of their home defeat to Bournemouth.
Learning the classes
Eddie Howe’s deciding he wished to cross over Sean Longstaff after a bout of tonsillitis hit us.
The Geordie midfielder runs miles for that facet and we desire him.
Optimistically Howe will comprise realised that formation didn’t rather work. Gordon can’t play down the left facet completely?
NEGATIVES
The intention in which we performed
It sounds pretty frequent however the nub of the problem is that we appropriate performed terribly.
Villa were streets forward in every department.
We looked in all locations defensively and shot afraid up front.
Within the event that they withhold that up then Villa and Brighton will sweep past us pretty damned quickly.
Missing Miggy and Maxi
We wished our huge males for this game.
Alas, Allan Saint-Maximin is nursing a sore hamstring and Miggy is appropriate getting wait on up to tempo.
They felt a grand omit all of a unexpected.
Defend on Targett?
We have undergone this complete season with Dan Burn as our first preference left wait on. Astonishing in actuality.
He’s been speedily-witted however he had a little bit of of torrid time at Villa Park.
Matt Targett is on the scene again. Can we stick or twist with that key space?
Howe will likely stick to grand man from Blyth however next season maybe they need to exit and usher in a single more left wait on?
